The Tasmanian Government’s Smarter Fleets Program commenced in 2015 to reduce vehicle fleet greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs by providing tailored guidance and support.
Participating fleets now have:
improved fleet data collection and analysis, and whole-of-life fleet costing; and
implemented smarter vehicle booking systems.
Smarter Fleets - Heavy Vehicles
Program details
The Smarter Fleets Program – Heavy Vehicles supported heavy vehicle fleets in Tasmania to improve efficiency, and reduce fuel expenditure and carbon emissions. Participating fleets received tailored advice, including fleet efficiency opportunities, and the chance to share technical expertise.
Who participated?
Heavy vehicle fleets from across Tasmanian regions and industry sectors participated in the Program. The Program ran from June 2018 to June 2020 as a partnership between the Tasmanian Government and MOV3MENT, and was funded by the Tasmanian Government.
Smarter Fleets – Electric Vehicles in Local Government
Program details
The Smarter Fleets Program supported Tasmanian councils to prepare to introduce electric vehicles into their fleets. The Program provided tailored information and analysis of the participating councils' fleets to calculate the environmental benefits and cost reductions that electric vehicles can offer.
Participating fleets received tailored advice identifying electric vehicle models and charging infrastructure that met each council’s needs. By partnering with electric vehicle and fleet experts, the Program encouraged sharing of technical expertise.
Fact sheets
Fact sheets are available to share the information and lessons learned through the Program with other Tasmanian fleets.

Smarter Fleets - Electric Vehicles in the Tasmanian Government
Program details
The Smarter Fleets Program – Electric Vehicles in the Tasmanian Government provided tailored information and guidance to Tasmanian Government agencies in preparing to integrate electric vehicles into their fleets. The Program actively engaged, supported and mentored agency fleet managers to be ‘electric vehicle ready’ as new models are introduced into the Australian market.
Key components of the Program included:
introductory workshop for agencies;
agency fleet analysis;
identification of opportunities to transition the fleet to electric vehicles; and
identification of opportunities to address existing barriers to electric vehicle uptake.
Who participated?
The Program ran from April 2019 to April 2020. Nine Tasmanian Government agencies participated in the Program.
